- Thanks them, but does not comment on their performance directly.
- One female student reads eloquently from a difficult passage.
- The teacher did make a sarcastic comment on their abilities.
Annotations from Power Teaching:
Overview:
- Truly a plethera of great engagement strategies. Also good points on microlectures, attention getters, and having students clarify with each other. Though I must admit that I find the forced over-exuberance very tiring and a bit cheesy tonight.
M.S. Part one:
- He truly has a great presence and energy right from the start. The gestures are a great idea and repetition. He gave a student great positive reinforcement. I can see the results, great engagement, quick transitions. However, it seems rather gimmicky and it feels to me that this instructor has a overwhelming need to be "on stage".
Lesson 2 lecture:
- Honestly I am going to use class-yes tomorrow in my P.E. classes. I liked the points on not introducing it, or rather hyping it up like they have earned this great new program. I have the overwhelming urge to poke this guy in the eye.
Lesson 3
- Do the rules with gestures, I got it. Different silly voices are great, but do I really want to rely on antics all the time? I do like the idea of students leading the repetition, and I would model a few silly voices in order to get them there. I just don't see it fitting every persona.
